I've been thinking of how an improved set of command line tools might function. If you guys agree with this starting point, I'll get started on some framework. I was thinking of a command line similar to MySQL, eliminating the slow VM startup for each command. You would run xindiceadmin and get a prompt (this would be the place to add user authentication in the future): /usr/local/xindice/xindiceadmin Xindice>
